Silver Schimidt

Introduction

The SilverSchmidt ST/PC is the first integrated concrete test hammer featuring true rebound value and unmatched repeatability. Two factors contribute to the improved performance of this concrete test hammer over its predecessors: Velocity based detection of the rebound quotient The lightweight hybrid design of the impact plunger is made from aerospace alloy, matched to the elastic properties of the concrete and equipped with a hardness steel cap Independent validation testing by BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Germany) has shown the SilverSchmidt ST/PC to have less dispersion than the classical concrete test hammer over the entire range. The unique design and high quality construction of the concrete test hammer SilverSchmidt ST/PC makes rebound hammer testing quicker and more accurate than ever before.

Features

  • The SilverSchmidt ST/PC concrete test hammer combines a high measurement accuracy with an unmatched repeatability.
  • The rebound value requires no angular correction

Original Schmidt

Introduction

The quality of concrete is mainly judged by its compressive strength directly affecting the load-bearing capacity and durability of concrete structures. Proceq invented the Original Schmidt, the world's first and now most widely used test hammer for analyzing the compressive strength of concrete properties. The Original Schmidt will hit the concrete at a defined energy whereas its rebound is dependent on the hardness of the concrete and is measured by the instrument. The Original Schmidt is available in models with different impact energies, each test hammer designed for a specific test application, in order to meet the needs of the customers to investigate a wide range of material types and sizes, such as bridge decks, thin walls, cast stone components or small components.

Features

  • Pendulum type rebound system
  • Two different plunger types adopted to the different applications offers an impact energy three times smaller
  • Type LR Original Schmidt: Handling equals type NR, but with impact energy three times smaller. The LR also features a paper strip for recording up to 4'000 test impacts without reloading

Resipod Resistivity Meter

Introduction

Resipod is a fully integrated 4-point Wenner probe, designed to measure the electrical resistivity of concrete in a completely non-destructive test. It is the most accurate instrument available, extremely fast and stable and packaged in a robust, waterproof housing designed to operate in a demanding site environment. The Resipod is the successor of the classic CNS Farnell Resistivity Meter. Surface resistivity measurement provides extremely useful information about the state of a concrete structure. Not only has it been proven to be directly linked to the likelihood of corrosion and the corrosion rate, recent studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between resistivity and chloride diffusion rate and even to determination of early compressive strength. This makes it one of the most versatile NDT methods for concrete.

Moisture Meter - Hygropin

Introduction

Excess moisture in concrete can be fatal to a floor covering installation. To prevent mildew and major damage, the flooring industry requires smart solutions to check surfaces for moisture prior to installing floor coverings or coatings. The Hygropin moisture meter offers the perfect solution to identify and monitor moisture in concrete. Due to the small and fast sensor of the moisture meter, diagnosing moisture according to ASTM F2170-09 is quicker and easier than ever before. The relative humidity test requires placing a measuring sleeve at a specific depth. This can be done either by drilling a hole or by pre-installing cast holes in fresh concrete. This moisture meter provides the smallest available sensor on the market, minimizing damage to the surface and reducing the installation efforts immensely.

Features

  • Depending on the settings this moisture meter is able to display relative humidity, temperature and calculated psychrometric parameters.
  • Fast measuring time
  • Highly integrated sensor with only 5 mm / 0.3 inches diameter
  • Moisture meter shows trend indicators for each parameter
  • The two independent sensors channels of the moisture meter can measure ambient and concrete characteristics simultaneously.
 


Pull Off Tester - DY-2 Family

Introduction

The Proceq DY-2 Family of automated pull-off testers covers the complete range of pull-off applications with unmatched ease of operation and a unique capability to store a complete record of the test. Pull-off testing is one of the most widely used test methods in the construction industry. This is reflected in the huge number of standards dedicated to the method. It has long been known that one of the major influences on the result of a pull-off test is the operator influence in the application of a constant load rate. The DY-2 with its integrated, feedback controlled motor removes this variable completely, by providing a fully automated test at a constant load rate which can be verified.

Features

  • The DY-2 is further unique in that it records every single test parameter required by the specification.
  • Time and date of the test
  • Test disc size
  • Maximum load applied
  • Automatic calculation of bond strength
  • Applied load rate with graphical record
